Val Brembana

Brembana Valley

Landscape the Brembana Valley presents changing, disparate and inaccessible aspects, which depend on altimetric variations. In the territory of the valley bottom there is an accentuated and widespread urbanization. Once you have passed the valley floor, you will immerse yourself in the pre-alpine landscape, where you will find characteristic traditional villages and preserved landscapes; as soon as you pass through villages like Villa d'Almè, you leave behind the foothill landscape and move on to a mountain environment. The Brembana Valley is limited to the north by the Orobie Alps chain, with the highest peak of Pizzo del Diavolo di Tenda (2,935 m), and marks the northernmost border with the Seriana Valley, and Pizzo Tre Signori (2,500 m) , which marks the border between the provinces of Bergamo, Sondrio and Lecco. The Seriana Valley marks the eastern border of the Brembana Valley, while the western one is marked by the Imagna Valley. To the south the Valle Brembana ends in the foothills around Bergamo. The river Brembo continues to flow until it flows into the river Adda, which in turn is a tributary of the river Po.
